You might be interested in Russell Standish's book "Theory of Nothing". He is a participant in the list. http://www.hpcoders.com.au/nothing.html One of the ideas explored there is (to put it very simply) that "nothing" and "everything" are the same thing. You might also like -- in case you don't know about it -- Jorge Luis Borge's short story "The Library of Babel", exploring a similar idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel > > Our experiences rely on finite numbers of receptors with limited > granularity (selectivity), and limited lifespan, which seem to imply > finite number of possible experiences (as their Cartesian product) by > a being. > > (2) It follows that, our life experience is likely computable. > > To come up with a UTM from "Nothingness", let's: > > 1. assume "Nothingness" > 2. conclude "Equidistance" > (because "Nothingness" means equal absence of information regarding > any aspect whatsoever) > 3. see the definition of a ball > 4. see the computation of Pi number with varying precision, i.e.: > > Remember balls from degenerate ones in low-dimensional spaces with > special coordinate systems and weird distance metrics, to quite > standard Euclidean ones, to hypersphere, to the most near-perfect > conceivable ball regading any information aspect whatsoever. > You will find like-minded people here. > > Unfortunately, we don't know if Pi is really equivalent to UTM, > because we had not yet solved the Normality of Pi conjecture, but > assuming it is Normal, to understand how your unique experience of > life could have arisen: > > 1. assume that your life experience is a finite number > 2. conclude that it is in Pi. > > However, if Pi is normal, then then the conclusion is not informative > at all, because we will find any finite string in it many times over. > > It would be much more informative, if Pi actually is _not_ normal. > Instead of Pi, Bruno starts with simple arithmetics: the sequence on natural numbers, addition and multiplication, which is already Turing complete.
